Speaking about Virtual Machine software, is VMWare accessible with JAWS? I've been dieing to play around with a Virtual machie, but i need to know if I'll need sighted help installing the oses and creating the VM's in VMware.
I am actually curious to know the same thing about virtual machines as well. I wonder if any of the free ones are accessible. Also to the initial poster of this thread, are you refering to MACS as in OX lepord? I don't know that that will run in a virtual machine on windows but i could be wrong. There are a few machines that you can install leporde on with out much of an issue though, the MSI wind probably is one of the most popular.X
Steve, I can tell you for sure that Virtual box isn't accessible. And I've heard Microsoft Virtual PC is shitty. Thats the only 3 I know of, VM ware, Virtual box, and Microsoft Virtual PC.
So it looks like its vm ware for us then .. i think i heard of another free one that might have been accessible,but its probably not as full featured as vm ware. And is paralells only for the mac?
Nah, Parellels is for Windows too, I believe.
Hi,
VMware workstation is sure accessible. I've used it to install windows 7 as I didn't want to install it along with the current OS which I use.
How did you install it not requiring sighted help? Because I'm thinking about running maybe say, Linux or Vista in that environment. Well Linux manily. Because I odn't want to worry about breaking anything. If I have it in a VM, I won't have to risk breaking anything. Whjat kind of sound card drivers /networking drivers does it ahve? Oh, did you install the OS from CD or waht.
Hi,
Not to worry, VMware helps you to setup and choose the OS which you would like to have installed.
All devices such as sound card, network etc are virtual.
You can install either from cd or an image file.
Note that the wizard will help you to select how much ram you wish to allocate, how many processors you wish to use, the amount of disk space you'd like to allocate etc etc.
And you wont mess up anything since its all in the vm.
Ok, one quick question, will I need the VMware workstation to create the images?
Hi,
Assuming you would want to use a latest version of a distro (refering to linux) you'd download that distro from the internet.
so the file that you download will be an image file.
You can also create your own images of OS'es that you might have on cd/dvd using a program which would burn data on to cd/dvd.
always note that the image file that would be downloaded or to be created should be an ISO file. Most burning programs offer the function of creating images
OK, then after downloading the image, download VMware work station? I've heard that you can just use VMware player to create these images, as well. I could be wrong about that too.

Sorry about that, it took for ever for the page to refresh the content and upload it to the website.
Hi,
yep you can download the image then workstation.
VMware player is used to run the virtual os rather than having to have VMware workstation installed.
so for example, I create a portable VMware environment with an os installed. I then decide to put it on a external hd and use it on my friends pc.
all I have to do is just take along VMware player, get it installed on the pc then, voilla, I can use the OS which I have created.
ooh interesting. I think I'll go grab this too, but one quick thing. Virtual box is kinda accessible, with NVDA. With jaws not too much, but nvda works with it alright. I'll definitly look at VMware though.
